Zap2It has listings pages now for an additional four episodes of Robots in Disguise's second season, taking up out to the seventh episode. But it seems that we may be seeing a change to the airing schedule of the show. Don't get too excited though - there's no sign that the timeslot itself will change, but it does appear we may start getting two episodes per weekend, following a week off after episode three. This may change in the meantime, but right now we're looking at first run airings both Saturdays and Sundays. Keep reading for titles and dates!

New-wave band The B-52's has reported that Paul Gordon, member of the band since 2007, has passed away due to an unspecified illness.

Autobase Aichi has posted images of the new Kinder Surprise eggs featuring RID toys! Kinder Surprise eggs are generally chocolate eggs with toys inside - though the type pictured seem to be a filled egg with a separate toy.

Member fatbot of the Ozformers message board has sighted a previously unknown pair of RID Legion-class two-packs at his local (to Australia) ToysRUs! They feature Bumblebee vs. Underbite and Optimus Prime vs. the otherwise as-yet unreleased Megatronus!

TakaraTomy's Hisashi Yuki has shared a couple of fascinating pieces of art on Twitter in recognition of the 15th anniversary of Transformers: Car Robots, later known in the US as the first Robots In Disguise. The first is a rough color layout for Fire Convoy, AKA Optimus Prime, but the second one is an even older piece, a design sketch for the character. In the early stages Fire Convoy looked a fair bit more like the original Optimus Prime - also, he was a Maximal! Keep reading to see the images!

The official Transformers Facebook page took a moment today to repost some of the Meet The Cast videos that had previously appeared on Youtube, and in the process dropped in that the cartoon's third episode would be hitting Cartoon Network in the US tomorrow morning.

He notes that the Warrior wave following the current Optimus and Drift assortment will feature Jazz and Sideswipe with a subsequent wave carrying Fracture and Megatronus, who is noted as being a distinct item from the 29.99 pricepoint one we reported on several weeks ago. There's even more than that, so keep reading to find out the rest!

The Transformers official Youtube channel has posted two new videos for the upcoming Robots in Disguise cartoon, spotlighting Optimus Prime and new character Fixit. Each video is about a minute long, and Fixit's video definitely gives more character focus while Optimus Prime's is more the form of an inspirational message than highlighting the traits of the character.
